Developer Cameron Beccario has created an amazing interactive map to show the global pattern of wind (link to earth wind map), using data from the Global Forecast System.
As I write this post, the strongest winds are blowing around the north of Japan. This site will help you to compare wind strength across the world and see where low and high pressure systems form.

Over to you:
1. Where in the world is the windiest place right now?
2. Where in the world is there very little wind?
3. If you got in a sail boat in San Diego, where might you end up?
4. Compare the strength and pattern of wind between two different regions in the world, which place would you want to avoid right now?
